I wrote Screen Mirror during Covid. That was a time of endless video calls where 4-7 hours of my day were spent trying to look attentive while staring at people on a zoom or teams video call.
With Screen Mirror I can look at my screen (but actually look at my Phone screen) AND I can control it too. So everybody who sees me on a Zoom or Teams call thinks I am so attentively staring at the camera/screen.
Stage 1: Screen Mirroring
Version 0.x was only screen mirroring.
This would let me see my phone screen, and I could hold the phone on my lap and endlessly scroll my screen.
Good for reading articles but limiting because to actually click on my phone screen I needed to look at the phone screen to make sure I touch the correct link.
Stage 2: Control using the keyboard
Version 1.x was Screen Mirroring and Control.
I added a feature to Screen mirror to connect to the iPhone (or iPad) over bluetooth emulating a keyboard. Now I could look at the screen and use the keyboard to manipulate the iPhone.
I then added the mouse feature, and with Assistive Touch, I could use the mouse to control it.
Its three years after covid, and zoom calls continue…
Stage 3: Enhanced privacy
Sometimes when I was sharing my Laptop screen in a zoom call, I happened to show my phone screen when I switched between applications. When that happened I started unplugging my phone over USB when I was sharing…being careful.
I then added the Enhanced privacy feature where I can hide the app from teams, zoom and google meet.
This feature is currently in Alpha mode. I am releasing it now so that other users can try it out and give me some feedback.
